[blancangel1]

'10 STi SE FTW!

[iJerm]

lol get your own custom paintjob and get new wheels/tires problem solved.

[BBSroll]

drive the new one!

[Robstunner]

sti spec c wheels are on all models of the special edition, not just white

[Xxrocker33xX]

my friend just bought one! its being shipped and it'll be here tomorrow! can't wait to rip in that thing!!

[dilawer321]

Do you know why the new impreza is shit?... its becuase its made for you burger eating americans, inlike the old stis wich were made for the european market!

[Ram886]

They should build a 3 door STi But Based on this Platform and with a redesigned front, from like the 05-07 STi's and I'm sure we got a winner.

But personally i like this design for some reason

probably because i always see it being Drifted around airports and jumping world records and stuff.

But its like i hate the New Evos and i Want them to go back to the old Evos such as the Evo 8. That's probably how it is with the Subie Fans.

[cxbra]

WOW, a 3 door STi would be the shit! I absolutely hated the 5 door STi at first, but when I realized it was because the rally world was all going hatchback (more centered weight), once I found that out I loved the car because of its heritage. Now, the new EVO is great and all but I feel like its losing the prestige by all aluminum block (used to be iron) and all of that computer gizmo stuff (that will only cause problems in years to come)

[kenrick1]

I don't mine the styling to much if the Hp and Tq numbers change from 300 to 350Hp and Tq from 295 to 340, and perfect handling and braking. I would buy one definitly. I'm one subaru freak from Aruba

[gaberson38]

and a 100 percent stiffer in my pants

[KyubiFox97]

my uncle is a very big suburu fan he gots an 03 wrx and he is getting the 09 sti and giving the wrx to my 16 yr old cuzzin, boy is he gonna love that

[scripps66]

hatchbacks are gay... my mom drives a hatchback , honesty how can you feel cool driving one of those.

[theanthroman]

This is not your mothers hatchback.

Gone are the days of hatchbacks being the wood paneled grocery getters of yesteryear. Did you watch our coverage of Subiefest? These are hatchbacks racing, drifting, getting modded (& winning).

[dcgc8]

and driving a Honda is way better right you should go back to watching the fast and the furious movie. if you ever get a chance drive this hatch it will blow your mind..... r e t a r d

[Ram886]

it's not a hatchback its a Hot Hatch

[Brettmiddleton]

wish they gave the engine decent pistons

:(

[asaturn]

special edition... uses the spec C wheels and suspension that japan has had for 2 years, the aspen white the US 2008 model had, and drops other features... wtf? I know this is for enthusiasts, but you'd think with basically nothing new and a little less than previous models, it would at least cost less.

[cmonskippy]

im sure they've all been bought by now on preorder.

[Gytixas]

to be honest . It's not as good as sedan version I mean 2005 or 2007 versions (not that ugly 2002 it was vorse than this hatchback version ;D ) but hatchback is better then universal and why they was making those ? Who needs sport car with heavy frame ? ;(

P.S.Sorry for my poor english ;DDD

[moonrider99]

Terrible marketing

[GaaraSama3]

Lol you have to pay cash to be in the line to get this or what!

[stenehjem1]

i like the box lookin version better

[camilo94011500042]

i personaly liked the older one but this looks very nice in sti tirm but the basics dont look that good but its still a subaru

[gun6slinger9]

wow thank you for editing out this morons attempts at humor

[drivingsports]

We aim to please.

[Qnickel27]

this car is awesome i personally think the new shape is great!!

[SmashedTV4U]

I think they could still salvage this frame by building a 2 door STI on this platform, lower the roof a bit, change the grill.

[moaski]

YES... just like the very successful 3-door hatchbacks like the Citroën C4, Ford Focus RS WRC, Peugeot 307 WRC, Renault Clio, etc...

They need to make a limited number of 3-doors to meet the WRC homologation requirement and then derive a sedan from that platform (all of which must look less cheap and detestable).

In N. America, where people still remember Chevettes and Dodge Omnis, no one wants to spend $40k on an ugly hatchback, no matter how well it performs.

[cubanopati]

i like it

[cszink]

Holy freakin' delicious!

[Gregster86]

UGLY CAR!!!!! what happen subaru what happen?!?!?! why did you hire the new designer!!!

[Gytixas]

this is because they want to make race car and in this way it's faster than sedan :)

[SmashedTV4U]

Exactly...When 06 Impreza was introduced everybody was complaining (I thought its the nicest) So they end up letting the designer go. Instead of keeping him they hire the genius that follow up with this minivan box. I want next Impreza to be 2 door , wide , and have a trunk , let's go back in time.

[Gytixas]

I want sedan back ;(( . but it still look very good anyway and why you need expensive stuff inside while you have monster under the hood ;)

[Vagmonster666]

i was hoping for higher output but why do i care i fim not getting one anyways

[nitroboyn2o]

i want one

[moaski]

Well...that's cool, but you can't fix ugly.

Actually you can with cars. Redesign this hideous thing already Subaru.

[ariell92]

ugly is ur mom...that car is bealtiful

[subeefan]

it's not beautiful, it's just not ugly.

[ariell92]

oh come on this car is so awesome

[subeefan]

i am a subaru fan and always have been but just the new shape... i don't like it and for some reason it still isn't growing on me

[Bansheeflyr]

Same man, never been a fan of hatchbacks and i cant see myself ever being one.

[timsk]

same here. That's why, even though they did well to cater to enthusiasts with less luxuries and more suspension help, I'd rather keep my '05 sti.

[moaski]

It's softer, less focused, more expensive and much uglier than it's predecessor.

Not to mention, as much as I hate to admit it, the Evo is an all-around better performer.

What Subaru fan wants to see that from their beloved STI? NOT ME!

Subaru needs to get back to the drawing board on this one soon.

[Ram886]

Yeah, I like this car styling but they should go back to the drawing board and bring out something better
